A music producer who accused Chris Brown of beating him with a tequila bottle and then stomping on him at a London nightclub has dropped his lawsuit against the singer.

Billboard reported the news, citing Los Angeles court documents in which Amadou “Abe” Diaw requested Friday that his suit against Brown be dismissed with prejudice, meaning the case cannot be filed again in court. A settlement between the two parties has not yet been confirmed.

Brown was accused of attacking Diaw in February 2023, resulting in a hospitalization and, later, a $16 million lawsuit related to the attack. Brown pleaded not guilty to a charge of grievous bodily harm with intent, The New York Times previously reported.

Diaw’s lawsuit also accused Brown of having “inflicted severe and lasting injuries” from the attack, including “lacerations on his head and torn ligaments in his leg,” and that he suffered “serious and permanent emotional distress and trauma” following the alleged assault.

The singer is still facing criminal charges stemming from the case. Brown was arrested in May at a Manchester hotel and was charged with the count of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, as well as assault causing actual bodily harm and carrying an offensive weapon.
